Asahi announces the latest 2018 models from popular cycle brand LOUIS GARNEAU. Focus on the Travel style, perfect for long-distance cycling trips.
Cycle Base Asahi, which operates stores nationwide, will begin selling new 2018 models from the popular Canadian cycle brand LOUIS GARNEAU, which has been re-branded under a new concept, starting in December 2017.
LOUIS GARNEAU is known as a cycle brand originating in Canada, and its simple, stylish design has made it a popular brand for many years.
To further develop Louis Garneau's strengths, the re-branded 2018 models, based on the concept of "Smart, Life, Casual," will be offered in "seven selectable styles" including kids' bikes, electric-assist bikes, and sports bikes, allowing every generation, from children to adults, to equally experience the Louis Garneau worldview.
Focus on the Travel style, perfect for long-distance cycling trips: LGS-T9
Among these, we highly recommend the "LGS-T9.0" from the Travel style, equipped with features perfect for bicycle touring.
It comes standard with a rear carrier that can be fitted with bags, and the included center stand allows for stable parking even when carrying large luggage during a trip.
Additionally, the butterfly handlebars, with their multiple grip points and special shape allowing for various positions, are designed to reduce fatigue on long journeys. The adoption of Schrader valves, rather than other types, for the tubes allows for easy inflation of tires even while traveling, demonstrating meticulous attention to detail.
